Have to start scoring runs if this team wants to be a playoff team. Maybe firing the hitting coach is what they need. Too many good players underachieving bad.

[OleMissCub]

Plz be ok Addy. I love you.

[Boris]

Yuck. Little flea.

[sontensei]

J Herrera / Castro in the middle for the strech run ... please say it ain't so!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Every inning felt like a struggle about time they broke through. Not sayin it was a struggle just felt like it.

 

Meanwhile our 1 and 2 hitters have reached 3 times each and we have 2 runs. Frustrating.

[Guest]

oh screw off with that strike 2 call

[Derwood]

Why are you taking a pitch that close, Jorge? Pitches 2 inches wider have been strikes all night

[Andy]

Infuriating.

[ARCubsFan]

Need to go all out for hitting at the deadline

[Andy]

Need to go all out for hitting at the deadline

It'd be really cool if any of about 6 people would quit having [expletive] terrible years

[ARCubsFan]

0 runs against the worst bullpen in baseball for 5 innings.

[dfnowak]

We throw a meatball pitch, they score two runs...they throw a meatball pitch, we strike out looking

No they should just stay quiet call up baez when he is back and let the kids take the bumps the rest of the season

[Schwarber Fan]

Strop needs to be taken out of the equation for high leverage spots for awhile. Give Ramirez his innings or Soriano soon. Schwarber needs to be in the OF tomorrow but he won't be and we'll lose 1-0 despite 6 SO innings from Lester.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

This game is a great example of why it's pointless for anyone to try to look ahead and get all excited about a bunch of below .500 teams that the Cubs have on the schedule.

 

They can't score against anyone.

[sontensei]

Well tmrw lineup is going to have castro Ross Lester Herrera

[Deeg]

Castro finally below 600 OPS. Did they stop the game and give him the ball?

Since Ramirez returned from the DL:

 

Strop: 6.1 IP, 4 H, 1 HR, 7/4 K/BB

Ramirez: 3. 1 IP, 4 H, 1 HR, 4/2 K/BB

[Guest]

We cannot continue to carry Castro

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Well tmrw lineup is going to have castro Ross Lester Herrera

 

Damn it. Where are all the runs going to come from?

They're 1-3 in this easy stretch that was supposed to catapult them. I get that they're young but the NL is so wide open right now it would really suck if they blow it this year.

[Ski]

Sigh.

 

[expletive] the Cubs.

 

Score more than two runs a game. For [expletive]'s sake.

[sontensei]

I really hope they don't go crazy at the deadline.
